DATA PROCESSING FOR BUBBLE CHAMBERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4092367
The computer program that performs spatial reconstruction of events photographed in a bubble chamber is required to eliminate human and digitizer errors. It recognizes and corrects for single nuclear scatterings in the presence of multiple Coulomb scatterings; these, if left undetected, would lead to false estimates of the momenta and angles of tracks. Momentum components are determined and kinematic constraints are applied. Measured parameters are transformed into special reference frames, and quantities of physical interest are calculated. Results are stored in a tape file containing all events of one reaction type. Data are obtained as page output for each event and CRT displays of selected parameter distributions for all events.
